It's a scam.

Both domains foramexpetroleum.com and marcozialawfirm.com are fake and were registered on the same day last October, with the same domain registrar.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

The proof of accommodation is a prerequisite for your residence permit.

Note: There is no legal document associated with booking.com. The Company and the State do not accept booking.com reservations. Do not send us any document obtained from booking.com


7. My English Language power is not very strong, that is less than 60%.Will this be a problem for communication at the job site?

Definitely not. Construction is a discipline and like every other discipline, it has its own language. What is important is that you perform your assigned tasks appropriately and professionally.
